Ok, so here is my form [http://foreverdown.com/new.php](http://foreverdown.com/new.php)

you can go ahead and try it. (its the mailing list form) and you will see that the email value from the text field is not getting passed. It comes up and says that email is undefined. here’s my action script.

```auto

mcSubmitML.onRelease = function():Void {
 formDataML = new LoadVars();
 formDataML.email = emailML.getValue();
 formDataML.action = actionML.getValue();

 getURL("mailinglist/maillist.php?"+formDataML, "_blank", "post");
}

```

I have a text field with instance name emailML and the radio buttons are actionML. the action gets passed just fine, but the email doesn’t make it. I tried using the textfield component and got the same error, so I switched it back to the input text field. I also tried formDataML.email = emailML.getText(); but that didn’t do anything either.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
